6. Lot: Similar lot size and features
ADJUSTMENT CATEGORIES:
+ / - Location premium/discount
+ / - Size differential ($X per sq ft)
+ / - Bedroom/bathroom count
+ / - Garage, pool, upgrades
+ / - Lot size difference
+ / - Condition adjustment
= Adjusted Comparable Value

Primary method for commercial and multi-family investment properties.
NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI):
Gross Potential Rent (GPR)
+ Other Income (laundry, parking, storage)
= Gross Potential Income (GPI)
- Vacancy & Credit Loss (typically 5-10%)
= Effective Gross Income (EGI)
- Operating Expenses
- Property taxes
- Insurance
- Management fees (8-12%)
- Maintenance & repairs
- Utilities (owner-paid)
- Landscaping
- Reserves for replacement (3-5%)
= NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI)
PROPERTY VALUE = NOI / Cap Rate
| Property Type | Typical Cap Rate | Risk Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Class A Multifamily | 4.0-5.5% | Low |
| Class B Multifamily | 5.5-7.0% | Low-Medium |
| Class C Multifamily | 7.0-9.0% | Medium |
| Retail (NNN) | 5.0-7.0% | Medium |
| Office (Class A) | 5.5-7.5% | Medium |
| Industrial | 5.0-7.0% | Low-Medium |
| Self-Storage | 5.5-8.0% | Medium |
| Hotels | 8.0-12.0% | High |
Used for unique properties, new construction, or insurance purposes.
COST APPROACH:
Land Value (from comparable land sales)
+ Replacement Cost New (current construction cost)
- Depreciation
- Physical (age, wear)
- Functional (outdated features)
- External/Economic (market decline, location)
= ESTIMATED PROPERTY VALUE
ANNUAL CASH-ON-CASH RETURN:
Annual Pre-Tax Cash Flow / Total Cash Invested x 100
TOTAL CASH INVESTED:
Down Payment
+ Closing Costs
+ Rehab/Renovation Costs
+ Initial Reserves
= Total Cash Invested
ANNUAL PRE-TAX CASH FLOW:
NOI
- Annual Debt Service (mortgage payments)
= Pre-Tax Cash Flow
Target: 8-12% for buy-and-hold residential
| Metric | Formula | Good Target |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Yield | Annual Rent / Purchase Price | 8-12% |
| Net Yield | NOI / Purchase Price | 5-8% |
| Cap Rate | NOI / Current Market Value | 5-10% |
| Cash-on-Cash | Cash Flow / Cash Invested | 8-12% |
| DSCR | NOI / Annual Debt Service | 1.25x+ |
| Price-to-Rent | Purchase Price / Annual Rent | 10-15x |
| GRM | Purchase Price / Gross Annual Income | 8-12x |

1031 LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE:
Defer capital gains tax by reinvesting proceeds into "like-kind" property.
KEY RULES:
- 45-day identification period (ID up to 3 properties)
- 180-day closing deadline
- Must use Qualified Intermediary (QI)
- Equal or greater value and debt required
- Same taxpayer name on both transactions
- Cannot receive "boot" (cash or unlike property)
IDENTIFICATION RULES:
1. Three Property Rule: ID up to 3 properties of any value
2. 200% Rule: ID any number, but FMV cannot exceed 200% of relinquished
3. 95% Rule: ID any number if you acquire 95%+ of identified value
COMMON PITFALLS:
- Missing the 45-day or 180-day deadline
- Touching proceeds (must go through QI)
- Attempting related-party exchanges
- Not matching debt levels (creates taxable boot)
- Mixing personal use with investment use
1% RULE (screening test):
Monthly Rent >= 1% of Purchase Price
$200,000 property should rent for >= $2,000/month
2% RULE (strong cash flow):
Monthly Rent >= 2% of Purchase Price
Rarely achievable in appreciating markets
50% RULE (expense estimate):
Operating expenses = ~50% of gross rent (excluding mortgage)
Quick NOI estimate = Gross Rent x 0.50
70% RULE (for flips):
Max Purchase = (ARV x 70%) - Repair Costs
ARV = After Repair Value
